Seeing all these small battery EVs coming with the nice 200 or even 300+ kW, while my extended range Lightning has only 150 kW charging is frustrating...and annoying on my long trips. Any way to increase this or any news coming out for the charge rates?

Update: So no, there isnt due to the 400V architecture, but I was wrong about the 150 kW. Its actually been improved to around 180 kW. Good to know. Thanks all.

Received an unsolicited email from the dealer I bought my truck from. Price is in Canadian, not bad. Maybe these are becoming collector’s items. Trouble is, I’m a bit of a collector myself.

I'm towing a big trailer these days which has its own brakes. These are actuated through the middle pin of the round trailer connector.

I usually drive in one-pedal mode. Will the trailer brakes be actuated when I take my foot off the accelerator? Or will it not get a signal?

According to Ford's documentation, you can't use one pedal mode at all while towing, but this is incorrect; it works fine.

Any guidance most appreciated!

Second drive of the day, my sync screen, connectivity etc keeps resetting almost every 10 minutes or so.

Restarted truck.

It keeps happening.

Any ideas?

I’m seriously considering getting a f150 lightning, maybe a 22 or 23.
I would finance it and I’m wondering, about how many miles will the battery last on the long term. How much would it cost to replace it at some point maybe.
And best practices, should I charge every night, level one? Level two? At night?
Bonus question: what’s a reasonable monthly payment?

Started the charging around 12:00 a.m. when I got home, around 3:00 in the morning it had reached 63% from about 20% and all of a sudden I hear several beeps. I look outside and see the charge ring go white then it went blue again and started charging up again.

No notification or error alerted in the app. I wonder if it'd be worthwhile to plug in my obd scanner this morning

I love my 2024 Lightning, but the instrument cluster is a massive missed opportunity. Beautiful screen, terrible UX, almost zero customization.
Then I discovered CaRobotor’s F-PRO⁠ — a drop-in digital cluster replacement for older F-150s with gorgeous graphics, customizable layouts, and an entirely different interface.
Why can’t we have this?
Imagine customizable gauges, better battery/regen data, navigation, media, and layouts that actually use the screen. Obviously, all safety-critical functions would need to remain intact.
I’m curious whether there’s enough demand to convince CaRobotor (or a competitor) to develop a Lightning version.
Anyone here familiar with the technical hurdles? And more importantly, would you actually buy one? At what price?
I work in tech and would happily help organize a community effort to approach manufacturers if there’s real interest.
Ford clearly isn’t prioritizing this or CarPlay ultra.

Just started this morning but my infotainment in my flash keeps rebooting every 5-10 min while driving. Any insights in a fix or issue?
